Better than the Streamliner, definitely, but not quite as good as the Ten Forty. I've never used a Ten Forty but I've heard good things about them and they seem to be much better than the Streamliner.<br><br>I have no idea what that means...maybe they charged your baggage by weight?

I expect to receive a Ten-Forty today in the mail, so I will do a comparison. I do own a Fleetwing, which in many ways is a nicer machine than a 333, though I find the action on the space bar abrupt.
